We could increase the marketing budget and reach a higher occupancy rate but I like sticking to basic numbers when first analyzing. 

I invest in and out of states.First, is to make sure you understand your financing options when investing out of states (not sure if you are a first-time investor or not). 

This is my first post on BP after watching so many videos.

Hello, I would like to buy my first home as a primary residence in Florida.

Find that number out first and try to give yourself a buffer since cost of living will still go up but also will your rents and expenses.

Most DSCR lenders will not negotiate their rates since they have end investors to answer to, especially if it is your first transaction with that lender.

I am looking to buy my first four-plex within the year.

@Stuart @Gregory Schwartz @Chris Seveney Thanks a lot for taking time to respond to my query.Initially when I made an offer to purchase the property, the lender-1 brought so many last minutes after about 10 days into the deal.

these will be my very first  rental properties.

I really appreciate your time in advance.
